I suggest forum searching for anything of interest or at least drop a hint on what you want...

I use the search feature regularly. I am interested in finding out about topics I may have overlooked or not heard of, so I thought I would ask for some suggestions.

On what topics??? Posting a bunch of threads for the sake of posting is 👎, but seriously if you already searched I am sure you are good to go man... Most everything gets cycled on a, if not yearly, quarterly basis. (some things way more often like MD vs X, URM, Rumors and Ramblings).

I don't want any of that stuff. I was thinking more like this.

Just read through it and there is some good info. You always hear people talking about residency spots and what going to happen in the future, but you rarely get a source. I just wanted to know if there were any other pockets of real info on here that I was missing.

I actually don't think it's great or particularly that helpful, especially to someone in our shoes. If you are realistic on your scores, you're still not going to have a problem matching in 2016-2017. I think I kinda feel you on your wanting to be prepared or what not... but honestly.. I wouldn't even bother man. I would seriously just work on getting a firm grasp on the different things that you want in your medical career and what specialties fit that mold. Get into some research in one of those areas. Then revisit that again during third year.


But to each his own.





















Mata opens up his account early in this game after Giroud screws it up :laugh:

After cutting out soda from my diet and doing some calculations, it seems I'm way under caloric intake now that I'm working out. Didn't think I would have this problem lol.

I had the same problem when I switched to eating healthier 😛

Avocado, nuts, whole milk, yogurt and olive oil are your friends!
 
Is anyone else "high" from an acceptance? I got accepted a couple days ago and I still have the jitters from the acceptance!! I am going to be a doctor!!!

Baha!!! For a month now I've been on 1000-1200/day... Cardio 3x a week and haven't had a soda in 2 years.

Keeping cals low is not easy. I hate having to be aware of what I'm eating. Lol.

Ugh this.
Im really strict with counting, plus I do insanity 6x/week which, according to my HR monitor, let's me burn anywhere from 600-800 calories per workout.

Try intermittent fasting. I usually do an 18/6 split with feeding window btwn 12-6 and I've had good results.

So crazy you would mention IF.

I tried it for a couple of weeks, and I didn't like it at all. I felt sluggish and I'm almost certain it slowed my metabolism.

I haven't tried insanity but I did do p90x during grad school with good results. after I graduated and started working I didn't have the time. I just got the 10 min trainer vids and that ish is intense. I need to be in great shape for med school this fall since we have to be half naked for OMM. Lol
 
Sick and trying to get through this worksheet.

"Similar to the prototype bethanechol discussed in class, pilocarpine is classified as a parasympathomimetic. Pilocarpine is most useful upon direct application to the desired target tissue, the eye, for the emergency lowering of intraocular pressure in glaucoma. Knowing that pilocarpine is a parasympathomimetic (pharmacological classification), and knowing where cholinergic receptors are distributed (target distribution), what is the likely target and tissue mechanism of action in the eye?"

...

Too many words.
 
That's the one thing I do like living at home for. I drink diet soda likes it's water... and water like it's alcohol... and I don't pay for it.



It's also the downside.... place is covered with junk food so it's a lot harder to resist, but I manage.

Oh hell no. If Pete Carroll revamps his strategy for next season and actually has the Seahawks PLAY rather than stand around in the first half we'll be golden.

We'll see. Redskins have the better offense and defense than the Seahawks. 😏
 
I am officially posting on this thread because I got my first acceptance this week. I am super-excited to be part of class of 2017 family.

It's about the hospital, not the school. A show about med school doesn't sound like much fun.

Anybody see NY Med? You can see it on-demand at ABC.com. I liked that show.
